A top law enforcement advocacy group has claimed attacks on police officers are skyrocketing, citing a recent wave of anti-police rhetoric. On Thursday, the National Fraternal Order of Police claimed these attacks have surged 91 percent in the past year.
The organization pointed out 150 officers have been shot, 28 have been killed by gunfire and 51 officers have been shot in 40 ambush-style attacks so far this year. The order attributes the “defund the police” movement and rise in hateful rhetoric targeting law enforcement as reasons for the wave of violence.
Several pro-police organizations have pointed to Democrat leadership as bearing some responsibility, arguing they aren’t using their positions of power to quell the hateful rhetoric. Joe Biden has gone so far as to criticize the so-called militarization of police departments and has claimed officers end up becoming the enemy of the communities they serve.
Supporters of law enforcement warn anti-police sentiment not only puts officers’ lives at risk, but also the lives of law abiding citizens. They point out the increasing violence in Democrat run cities, where police officers are resigning in droves due to extreme danger on their lives and lack of respect from residents.
In the meantime, several Democrat officials across the country are making moves to refund police departments to combat the rise in crime in their cities. However, Republicans believe respect in law enforcement needs to be replenished before departments see officers return to fighting crime.




Liberal DPST/fascists and LSM argue "The Republicans did it"!!!!!!

Cities see rise in crime after defunding the police

After the death of George Floyd, many U.S. cities run by Democrat leaders defunded their police departments. However, after a surge in various crimes such as homicides and shootings, officials have taken steps to increase funding for law enforcement.
New York decided to cut funding from their law enforcement agencies after defund the police movements urged leaders to make changes. However, a 77 percent increase in shootings in March prompted New York to raise funding for law enforcement.
“The task force said it was important to address on a budget level the need to focus more on our young people, the need to make a clear statement that our investments and our young people are our future,” Mayor Bill De Blasio (D-N.Y.) announced. “Policing matters, for sure.”
Meanwhile, homicides in Pennsylvania have increased 34 percent this year. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) weighed in by saying calls to defund the police have escalated crime.
“I think there are other sources of this problem. It’s probably complex,” he explained. “It’s probably multilayered, but a contributing factor is probably this movement that’s so hostile to police. The idea of defunding the police. The idea that police are systemically racist.”
Los Angeles also cut police funding last year, but the mayor recently proposed a funding increase after seeing more shootings and murders. The city has seen an almost 30 percent increase in homicides so far this year. Both Minneapolis and Seattle also want to replenish their police force following an uptick in crime on black Americans after cutting funds.
In June, Joe Biden announced more funding for police departments.
“The president has never supported defunding the police. He’s always supported community policing programs,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated. “He’s supported giving funding to states and localities around the country, including through his American Rescue Plan, because he thinks there is an essential role to play for community policing.”

Biden has insisted on attributing the escalation in crime to gun violence, despite an increase in car thefts, robbery and rape in major cities across the country.
Nationally, murder has skyrocketed in 2020 and many cities saw homicide rates rise 30 percent in the last three months. In 2020, the state of California saw its deadliest year since 2007. Homicides in the state increased 31 percent.
If the current crime rates keep increasing, 2021 may see the highest murder rate in a quarter century.

Several Chicago city officials have called for an emergency meeting with Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) to demand she bring answers to the city’s rising crime rates.
According to reports, 19 Chicago council members recently demanded a meeting with Lightfoot after the mayor falsely asserted the city’s crime rates were declining. “All of our major indices show a decline in our crime, and our homicides and our shootings year over year are down,” said the mayor on Friday.
Local reports said there have been 200 more people shot this year in Chicago than last year. Additionally, the city has seen a 55 percent increase in homicides since 2020.
The group is criticizing Lightfoot’s previous efforts to combat crime and have stressed that residents “want answers.”

Yup. A cop is much more likely to die by the hand of a black man than a black man is by the hand of a cop. It’s amazing what people will believe when fed the same lies over and over.

of course - the DPST/fascists have no sense of reponsibility for their actions - and insist republicans are all to blame!!!
and indoctrinated liberal DPST / Fascists everywhere parrot agreement.









Until criminals like OBLM and anti fa terrorists come smashing into karen homes - as in CHOP/seattle, Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, and many other DPST/fascist mismanaged cities.



Then they want police protection.
